+# UI Automation Support
+
+With the __Q2 2025__ version of our controls, RadTextBox supports UI Automation. The current implementation of UI Automation for RadTextBox is similar to the MS WinForms TextBox Control implementation with some extended functionality. The main goal of this implementation is to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and to provide a common practice for automated testing. 
+
+This functionality is enabled by default. To disable it, you can set the __EnableUIAutomation__ property to false.
+
+
+````C#
+
+this.radTextBox1.EnableUIAutomation = false;
+
+````
+````VB.NET
+
+Me.RadTextBox1.EnableUIAutomation = False
+
+````
